I’m transferring from saddleback cc to UCI [hopefully]
I’m currently taking history of ancient philosophy at another cc and a lot of the concepts we’re discussing the prof keeps saying 'if you took intro to philosophy…[then this shouldn’t be new for you]". I did not hear of a lot of these concepts/terms in my intro class so I am worried about moving on to upper-division philosophy classes in university. I’d like to take intro to philosophy again at UCI (if I get in) so I am prepared for the upper-division classes. Maybe I can take it pass/no pass? What are the rules about this?
I got an A in Intro to Philosophy in community college, but can I take the class again in University

UCI’s philosophy major requires one of the following:
PHILOS 1 Introduction to Philosophy
PHILOS 2 Puzzles and Paradoxes
PHILOS 4 Introduction to Ethics
PHILOS 5 Contemporary Moral Problems
Rather than duplicating PHILOS 1 (since you presumably took PHIL 1 at Saddleback), you may want to take one of the three other lower division courses if you feel that PHIL 1 at Saddleback was not as complete or rigorous as you would like it to be.
It looks like PHILOS 1, 2, 4, 5 are not specified as prerequisites for anything other than PHILOS 9:
